    Hi, what's your name?
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    Amezda
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    And what do you work on?
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    Hi, I'm Tim
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    I'm Siggy
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    My name is Aki
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    My name is Melik
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    Hi I'm Aksel Hesht
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    I'm known as Pike
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    You really have to master
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    those little tools like
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    mailing lists,
  • 0:29 - 0:29
    IRC,
  • 0:30 - 0:31
    stuff like that
  • 0:31 - 0:32
    wiki format
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    so that you can work better
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    with the community.
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    You have to be ready
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    to absorb a lot of documentation.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    Well, you do need to be eager
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    to actually support the open REP
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    or support anything.
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    You can't be afraid to reach out to people
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    I'm a Localizer in the Netherlands
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    Well be a leader,
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    have a vision and work on it.
  • 1:11 - 1:11
    You need to have
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    I think the first rule
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    is to be very open
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    and to have the sharing culture.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    Especially having the sharing culture
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    is the first rule.
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    Probably the first thing
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    you wanna do is be open and patient.
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    Hacking I think, is really a way
  • 1:30 - 1:31
    to do things
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    or make things the way that you want
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    you want them to be.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    And have an influence on things
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    that surround you
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    and it doesn't need to be code
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    it can be anything.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    Don't be afraid, go for it, don't be shy.
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    You have to do it, you have to go for it.
